The Bolts are on a short week.<\/p>\n
Here are five things to know about the Chargers ahead of Week 8.<\/p>\n
1. What happened in Week 7?<\/p>\n
The Chargers got behind early and never led in a 38-24 loss to Indianapolis.<\/p>\n
“It wasn’t our best in any phase,” said Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh.<\/p>\n
The defense allowed season highs of 38 points and 401 yards of offense to the Colts, while the offense managed just three points in a first half that featured a pair of turnovers.<\/p>\n
The offense came to life in the second half as Justin Herbert finished with a career-best 420 passing yards, with touchdown passes to Quentin Johnston, Keenan Allen and Oronde Gadsden.<\/p>\n
Harbaugh said he’s hoping that second-half performance can spark the Bolts going forward.<\/p>\n
“It wasn’t our best day,” Harbaugh said. “But do I have confidence in my team? Yes. Do I believe they’re fighting? Yeah.”<\/p>\n
He later added: “From our whole team \u2014 courage, fight, our guys never quit. That’s the big thing I takeaway.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Bolts are on a short week.
